The Arkansas commemorative half dollars honor the 100th anniversary of Arkansas' admission to the Union, which occurred in 1836. However, the debut of the Arkansas halves happened a year before the centennial, in 1935. The Arkansas half dollars were designed by Everett Burr and the dies were prepared by Emily Bates. The obverse bears an eagle and rays, while the reverse of most Arkansas half dollars feature a jugate image of a Native American chief of 1836 and an American woman of 1935.
Like many commemorative types of the 1930s, the Arkansas half dollars were issued over the course of several years. In this case issues were dated and released from 1935-1939.
Obverse Description
A double portrait of Liberty and Native American Chieftain with the words ARKANSAS CENTENNIAL at the bottom periphery.
